Scrubber Cooling

Scrubbers use a solution to remove chemicals from gases within a tank. A scrubber must be cooled to maintain low emissions and high production levels. Heat exchangers and chillers keep the solution cool while the cooling tower water cools the scrubber. The drawing below shows a typical scrubber installation.

Discovery Questions:

• Do any of your processes require scrubbers?

• Does temperature affect the life of your scrubber solutions?
  Would cooler solution temperatures extend its life or improve scrubber performance?

• Do your scrubbers rely on cooling tower water? If so, is scrubber performance limited during the summer months?

Configuration and Installation Issues:

• Area electrical classifications

• Fluid media

• Metallurgy
